Originally published in 2000 by Polygon to mark the 250th anniversary of Fergusson's birth, this new edition contains all Fergusson's finest poems in both Scots and English, and features a new introductory essay, revised orthography, a substantial section of notes and a glossary. Acknowledged as a crucial influence on Burns, Robert Fergusson was a remarkable poet in his own right. All his work was produced during a few brief years, delighting readers with its vigour and power. Although he wrote much verse in the then fashionable style of Augustan English, it is his Scots verse which, in its great warmth, humanity, satire, and hilarious comedy, is his enduring legacy. His work covers the whole gamut of human emotions and experience and his subject matter ranges from drunken encounters with the notorious City Guard to quieter reflections on pastoral themes. Fergusson died in 1774 at the age of only 24.

Excerpt from The Poems of Robert Fergusson: In Two Parts, to Which Is Prefixed, the Life of the Author, and a Sketch of His Writings; With a Copious Glossary Annexed Ever since Fergusson has been known as a Poet, his works have been highly esteem ed by his countrymen; but since the works of the celebrated Burns have been so universally read and admired, his high encomiums on our author's genius has awakened a desire in the lovers of poetry in general, to be in possession of Fergusson's works; and the publisher has been often solicited by those who were not na tives of Scotland, to furnish them with copies of these Poems. In order to render the read-a ing of the work easy to those not conversant with the Scottish dialect, he has published the present edition with an ample glossary annex ed, which has not been done before; by which means he trusts, that the Poems 'of Fergusson may now be read, and their beauties enjoyed, with as much facility as those of Burns.
